Tanker Spills Oil in San Francisco Bay

     SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The U.S. Coast Guard says an oil tanker has
leaked fuel into San Francisco Bay, creating a slick at least a
mile long.
      Coast Guard Petty Officer Melissa Leake says the
Panamanian-flagged Dubai Star began leaking bunker fuel during a
fuel transfer Friday morning. Officials don't know exactly how much
has spilled into the water.
      Coast Guard vessels and aircraft are on the scene about 2½ miles
southeast of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
